  • Patent number: 11961669
    Abstract: Flexible and stretchable supercapacitors are made using carbon nanostructures produced by providing a first composite structure which includes a temporary substrate and an array of carbon nanotubes arranged in a stack on a surface of the temporary substrate such that the stack of carbon nanotubes is oriented generally perpendicular to the surface of the temporary substrate, which may include silicon dioxide. The stack of carbon nanotubes is transferred from the temporary substrate to another substrate, which includes a curable polymer, thereby forming another composite structure comprising the stack of carbon nanotubes and the cured polymer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 2, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 16, 2024
    Assignee: The Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Runzhi Zhang, Junjun Ding, Eui-Hyeok Yang

  • Publication number: 20220296451
    Abstract: Disclosed is an exoskeleton wearable device configured to push a condyle out from a glenoid structure of a skull made of two bellows shaped actuators each having an elliptical cross-section; an upper part configured to be fixed on a forehead of a patient and provide a base for the two bellows shaped actuators; and a lower part configured to be fixed on a mandible of the patient and substantially static to the mandible but moveable in a horizontal plane and a vertical plane with respect to the upper part.
